Nevada's Final PFAS Action Plan establishes a comprehensive framework for addressing PFAS contamination statewide. Enacted under Assembly Bill 97, the plan created a PFAS Working Group to study environmental contamination issues. Nevada has enacted PFAS-related statutes (NRS 459.682 and 459.684) prohibiting PFAS-containing Class B firefighting foam use for testing/training since January 1, 2022, with mandatory 24-hour notification requirements for any discharge.
